- Ryan’s Turtle Racing — “Hello, quick check in on Turtle Coin Racing. I recently added and am testing Show and Place bets (betting for 2nd and 3rd place in the race), it has three environments now with two lengths to each course, and a ball dropping mini-game between races to earn points. Still a bit embarrassed to release the code (amateur programming and personal stuff is hard coded) so short term goals are cleaning it up and then opening sourcing the code. I don’t want to run betting with real TRTL personally as it’d be gambling (but if someone wants to add that go for it it shouldn’t be hard), I think it is a fun game in its own right that promotes TurtleCoin in theme and with prizes, with an executable distributed for streamers to host their own races eventually”
- Amptile’s community outreach project — “well, everyone talks about how much they love the community and I just thought, why not help expand it. It’s been stated months ago that we want turtles value to be an organic growth and what better way than to leave quick tidbits of info laying around the physical world and not just online. We can leave these at typical hang outs for younger people who are more incline to enter the world of crypto.” — amptile
- One-Click-Miner —“ After my final exams, I’m still alive and back for my turtle friends! And I even found time to continue my work on the upcoming release of the one click miner. You can already see some changes in the screenshot including the support for multiple miners coming with the new algorithm as well as more pool selection options. Coding is nearly done and after some finishing touches and when everything hopefully goes well, I’ll upload the sources and release a new version during the next days. Thanks for being so patient! Much love to you all ❤” — EncryptedUnicorn
- TheDome’s Web Wallet — “Started working on a community web wallet, the big update will be released may 20th. With a new material design and much more features.”
- TurtleCoin.com — “After some discussions in chat about the TurtleCoin domain, I decided to get in touch with the domain broker who owned turtlecoin.com and negotiate a purchase price. The domain now mirrors the TurtleCoin website.” — UAOverall
- TurtleCoin Docker — “The first beta of the TurtleCoin docker container auto build is live and available for anyone who wants to run the TurtleCoin daemon under docker or k8s.” — TOM
“Not much has changed re the docker automated build in the past week. Tom is running it under k8s, and I’m running it under docker swarm without issue. Needs a bit of a tidy-up and a README polish and will shortly be ready to be ‘official’.
In other news I’m delighted to note that one Kiwi, and 2 cheeky Australians have joined my little antipodean TurtleCoin mining pool!” — FunkyPenguin
https://hub.docker.com/r/tom7003/turtlecoin/ - Turtle Nest GUI Wallet — “Nest wallet 0.22 update is out. It is advised to upgrade as it uses the latest version of core, 0.5.0. I would like to thank again the community for its great welcome and support. And congratulations to the core devs for the quick and efficient reaction to the recent attacks on the network. For Nest users who sync locally, please note that you might experience crashes of the syncing process around blocks 437K-440K. Just close your wallet and reopen it each time. Once you pass those blocks, operations will come back to normal. Have a great week!” — Jon Nest
